SWEET-AND-SPICY BABY BACK RIBS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/3 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
3 1-pound racks baby back pork ribs
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup lager-style beer
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
1 cup Thai sweet chile sauce (such as Mae Ploy)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the ribs meat-side down on a cutting board. Insert a paring knife between the membrane and the bones on one end of each rack, then loosen the membrane and pull it off. Rub the ribs with the lemon juice and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the ribs bone-side down in a large roasting pan, then add the beer. Cover tightly with foil, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chile sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven; increase the temperature to 400 degrees F. Uncover the pan; carefully pour out the cooking liquid. Stir 1/4 cup cooking liquid into the sauce, then discard the rest of the liquid. Generously brush the ribs with the sauce. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting, uncovered, until the ribs are golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and slice, then return to the roasting pan. Pour the remaining sauce on top and toss. Photograph by Anna Williams

SWEET AND SPICY BABY BACK RIBS

Sweet and Spicy Baby Back Ribs image

The Ninja has done it again! I was so impressed with these ribs at how fast they cooked up and yet they were moist, tender and finger lickin' good! I didn't have to heat up the stove or go out and turn on the grill...instead they were done on the countertop in my kitchen. I have only cooked ribs a few times but cooking them in...

Tips:

Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs.
Trim the ribs: Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs to help them cook more evenly.
Make a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so make sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy.
Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them low and slow. This will help them become tender and fall off the bone.
Glaze the ribs: Glazing the ribs during the last 30 minutes of cooking will help them caramelize and add a delicious sheen.
Let the ribs rest: Before serving, let the ribs rest for at least 10 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute and make the ribs even more tender.

Conclusion:

These sweet and spicy baby back ribs are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. They're easy to make and absolutely delicious. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
